Question

Estimate each of the following quotient$:$

$3493÷29$

Answer 1

We want to find out the quotient when $3493$ is divided by $29$

First find the nearest thousand to $182$

In $3493$ hundred digit is $4,$ which is less than $5$ now unchanged the thousand digit and replace hundred$,$ ten's and unit digit by $0$

Nearest thousand to $3493$ is $=3000$

and nearest ten to $29$ is $=30$

Now find the quotient$:$

$=3000÷30$

$=\frac{3000}{30}$

$=100$

Hence$,$ the quotient is $100$ when $3493$ is divided by $29$
